MoRGANrOwN, October l5-The session

of the three men indicted for the murder
of Emma Robinson, last May. The wo-
man, one of very questionable character
was found lying dead, partially clothed, on
the floor Of her home, in West Morgan

MADEIRA, Henry Black and Albert Wells,
a. the guilty parties. So far the evidence
has been purely of a circumstantial nature,
hut the important witnesses for the state
have not yet been put on the stand.
Several testified that they saw the above
named luen drink on the night Of the u
der and that they said they were going
across the river to see 3 woman.
Ii is said that Wells has turned States
evidence and will appear on the witness
stand at the proper time. The trial Is the
topic OF conversation about town and fur
ther developments are awaited with great
interest. Messrs. Keck & Son and Frank
Cox. Esq. are conducting the prosecution.
TIL. B. StaggerS, of Fairmont, and c. Il.
Ollie, of this place fare attorneys for the
defendant. Fifteen witnesses have already

STICK TO THE NATIONAL PLAT

The Atlanta Constellation very appropri-
ately calls the tariff for-reNenue-o only plan

ponent and ~eSpounder is the great Ken
lucky editor, HENRY WATTEEsoN, who,
assisted by q lew bold and strong leaders,
has been attempting to force it upon the
Democratic party Of the country as he did
in 1850, when the "kentu,Ey idea in
iected into the National Democratic plat,
form defeated The party. But the Ken
tuky idea IL \ sufficiently exploded
theory, exploded by ballots, although Mr..
WATTERsON does not yet seem TO have
caught on" 10 the fact. 1t has had a fair
trial. FRANK HURD tried it ia Ohio, in a
district where the gifted orator was almost
O~mnipOtent. The Kentucky idea" de-
feated him. Mr.. MORRISON, the boldest
and sincerest of all lis advocates, tried it in
Illinois. 1t defeated him. Speaker CAR.
Isle, who was believed to be the ~inyinei-
bic, tried it in Kentucky. He pulled
through with a hare majority. kentucky
tried it with the most popular man in the
State at the head OF her ticket, and every
leading Democrat in the State working
for it. II pulled Kentucky's grea, Dem.
ocratic majority down TO y few thou
sands, so that the Republicans actually
claim Kentucky to he \ doubtful State.
In full view OF this plaiu handwriting
on the wall will Mr.. WNrrERSoS still at
tempt to pull down the hac Of The National

IN a nutshell: The Democrats are on
the side Of economy, aud the Repub-
leans on that Of extravaganza. Which
is the safer. the more honest course
to pursue To relieve the taxpayers Of
a large share Of their burdens and bring
down the cost OF living to . mioimum, or
to continue 70 tax them as heavily as when
the war, with its enormous expenditures,
was going on, and to squander their money

will hardly hesitate about the answer.
